It may become necessary to supply Station B, now supplied by the electric railway, by screen wagon, 
and the contractor will be required to perform the necessary service to and from that station in such 
event. 

It is expected new mail stations will be established and in operation before the beginning of the 
■contract term, as follows: 

Station C at Fifth and Sherman streets. 

Station D at Indiana and Division streets. 

Should these stations be established, the contractor will be required to provide the necessary service 
"for their supply. 

The new federal building will probably be completed and occupied before July 1, 1910. This will 
slightly change the distances above shown. ' 

The contractor for service on this route will be required to begin service on the first day of the 
contract term (July 1, 1910) with not less than three No. 2 and five No. 3 wagons, and to retain this 
•equipment for use in service on this route unless otherwise ordered by the department, but the 
department reserves the right to require the contractor to furnish at any time during the contract 
5j;erm such additional equipment as may be necessary for a prompt and efficient service. 

Bond required with bid, $10,000. 

Present annual pay for wagon service under existing contract, route 
No. 471003, $4,700, and for mail-messenger service under existing 
designation on route No. 271173, 1300. (See paragraph 15, Instruc- 
tions to Bidders.)

oThe contractor will be required to perform such service as may become necessary to and from 
Stations N and O. So far as practicable the trips may be combined with those between the post-office 
and Station C 

Note. — All trips between Arcade Station and Arcade and La Grande depots are now combined with 
trips between post-office and said depots. If necessary, the contractor will be required to perform 
them direct. 

The post-office will be moved to the new government building, at Temple and Main streets, before 
or during the contract term. This will materially change the distances and amount of service to and 
from the post-office. 

A branch post-office may be established in the Pacific Electric Terminal at Sixth and Main streets 
to handle all mails originating in or for delivery in the new business district. If established, the

oThe contractor will be required to perform such service as may become necessary to and from 
Stations N and O. So far as practicable the trips may be combined with those between the post-office 
and Station C.j 

NorE. — It may be necessary to either increase or decrease the trips as shown in the foregoing state- 
ment, and to include service to and from other like points not named in said statement, or to discon- 
tinue service to and from or between points named. When increased trips or additional service 
become necessary for any reason, the facts must be reported to the department by the postmaster and 
authorization obtained from the Second Assistant Postmaster-General before the same can be put 
into operation, except where additional trips become necessary in an emergency, when the post- 
master may require the same of the contractor for such time as may be necessary, not exceeding fif- 
teen days, and where regularly scheduled trips are not required for a period not exceeding fifteen 
days no deduction will be made from the contractor's pay. The postmaster should immediately 
report such emergency, or omitted, service to the department. When decreases may be made, the 
postmaster should report the facts to the department and an order will be issued by the Second 
Assistant Postmaster-General decreasing the service accordingly. For any authorized change in the 
service, other than emergency service or omitted service, above referred to, the pay of the contractor 
will be increased or decreased, as the case may be, at the rate per mile of travel as shown by the 
annual rate of the proposal of the accepted bidder and the annual miles of travel based on the fre- 
quency and distances shown in the above statement of service. So much of the •' Instructions to 
Bidders" as is inconsistent with the foregoing shall not apply to the contract for service on this route. 

Note. — All trips between Arcade Station and Arcade and La Grande depots are now combined 
with trips between post-office and said depots. If necessary, the contractor will be required to per- 
form them direct. 

The post-office will be moved to the new governm nt building, at Temple and Main streets, before 
or during the contract term. This will materially change the distances and amount of service to 
and from the post-office. 

A branch post-office may be established in the Pacific Electric Terminal at Sixth and Main streets

Note. — If mail service is established on the Western Pacific Ry. Co., the contractor will be required 
to perform such service to and from the station of that road as may be necessary. 

The contractor for service on this route will be required to begin service on the first day of the con- 
tract term (July 1, 1910) with not less than two No. 3 wagons, and to retain this equipment for use 
in service on this route unless otherwise ordered by the department, but the department reserves the 
right to require the contractor to furnish at any time during the contract term such additional equip- 
ment as may be necessary for a prompt and efficient service. 

Bond required with bid, $3,000. 

Present annual pay for wagon service under existing contract, route 
No. 467008, $1,440. (See paragraph 15, Instructions to Bidders.) 



INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS. 



1. The foregoing schedules on some routes show approximately the 
service as performed during the week named in the statement of 
service ; on other routes the service shown is that which it is believed 
will probably be required of the contractor at the beginning of the 
contract term. Bidders, however, must personally inform them- 
selves of the amount and character of the service that will be re- 
quired during the contract term, beginning with July 1, 1910. 
Bidders and their sureties are warned that they should familiarize 
themselves with the terms of the contract, schedules of service, and 
instructions contained herein before they shall assume any liabilities 
as such bidders or sureties, to prevent misapprehension or cause of 
complaint thereafter. 

2. All persons are cautioned not to allow their names to be used 
as bidders unless they intend to personally perform or supervise the 
service. Every bidder is required to make oath that the bid is made 
in good faith and wdth the intention to enter into contract to per- 
form service in case said bid shall be accepted. A person subscrib- 
ing to such oath, but not intending to enter into the business of car- 
rying the mail, either in person or by an employee, is guilty of 
perjury and is subject to the penalties prescribed for such offense. 

3. No proposal submitted under this advertisement will be consid- 
ered unless the person making the proposal shall agree in his pro- 
posal that in the event of the service being awarded to him he will 
give his personal supervision to the performance of the same and will 
reside on or contiguous to the route. The words " on or contiguous 
to the route " as used in this section are to be construed as meaning 
within the territory regularly served by a post-office on the route. 

4. A contractor who shall fail to give his persona] supervision to 
the performance of his service, or to reside on or contiguous to his 
route, may expect to be declared a failing contractor and that the 
service will be relet and he and his sureties held liable for any dam- 
age that may be suffered thereby. 

5. The terms mail-messenger service, transfer service, and mail- 
station service, as used in this advertisement, are intended to be 
understood as follows: 

Mail-messenger service is the service between post-offices; between 
a post-office and a railroad station ; betw^een a post-office and a steam- 
boat landing; between a post-office and an electric or cable car. 

Transfer service is the service between two railroad stations; 
between a railroad station and a steamboat landing; between a rail- 
road station and an electric or cable car ; between two electric or cable 
cars; between an electric or cable car and a steamboat landing; 
between two steamboat landings. 

Mail-station service is the service to or from a mail station of a 
post-office. 

6. The contractor for an}^ route under this advertisement will be 
required to perform, without additional compensation, any and all 

(87) 



88 

additional service that may be necessary from July 1, 1910, or at any 
time thereafter during the contract term, between post-oiRces, between 
the post-office and railroad stations, between the post-office and steam- 
boat landings, between the post-office and mail-stations, between the 
post-office and the points of exchange with electric or cable cars, and 
between the several post-offices, railroad stations, steamboat landings, 
mail stations, or points of exchange with electric or cable cars named 

IN THE SCHEDULE OF SERVICE FOR SUCH ROUTE IN THIS ADVERTISEMENT. 

7. He will also be required to perform, without additional compen- 
sation, any and all additional service during the contract term that 
may be caused by changes of site of the said post-offices, railroad sta- 
tions, steamboat landings, mail stations, or points of exchange with 
electric or cable cars and to and from any new railroad station within 
the city used by a company named in the schedule of service, and also 
such mail-messenger service as may be necessary between the post- 
office and a new railroad using the depot of a railroad named in the 
schedule of service, and such transfer and mail-station service as may 
oe necessary to and from such railroad; provided that in the case of 
the change of site of a mail station the increase in distance traveled 
by reason of such change of site does not exceed one-quarter of a mile 
per trip each way. The discontinuance of a mail station and the 
establishment of another in its stead, not involving an increase in 
travel of more than one-quarter of a mile each way per trip, will be 
regarded as a change of site, and no additional pay will be allowed 
for the increased service caused by such change. 

8. The term " trip," as used in this advertisement, is understood to 
cover all of the mail to go at one time from a point named in the 
schedule of service for any route to some other point on said route 
whether one or more wagons are necessary to transport the mail. 
Where several " dispatches " are made at the same time and can be 
carried in the same wagon without detriment to the mail service, the 
consolidated dispatches so carried may be considered a " trip." 

9. The Department reserves the right to make any reasonable 
change in running time whenever, in the opinion of the Second 
Assistant Postmaster-General, such change is essential to proper per- 
formance of service. 

10. There should be but one route bid for in a proposal. Consoli- 
dated or combination bids (proposing one sum for two or more 
routes) can not be considered. 

11. The numbers given to the A^arious mail routes in this advertise- 
ment may not correspond with the numbers of the routes now in oper- 
ation covering corresponding service. It is very important^ there- 
fore, that postmasters and others should use the numbers herein given 
when referring to service under this advertisement, and should use the 
old numbers when referring to the service for which contracts will 
expire June 30, 1910. 

12. Proposals must name the amount per annum for the whole of 
service and not by the trip. 

13. The statements of probable additional service that may be nec- 
essary on the routes under this advertisement are given so that bid- 
ders may be as fully advised as possible of the amount of service 
likely to be required. Such statements will not, however, limit the 
liability of the contractors to perform, without additional compensa- 
tion^ oil service of the kind indicated in sections 6 and T that may 
become necessary. 



89 

14. The distances giv^en are believed to be substantially correct, but 
no additional pay will be allowed should they be greater than herein 
stated. Bidders must personally inform themselves as to the dis- 
tances, the running time, the weight of the mails, the condition of 
hills, streets, toll bridges, ferries, and obstructions of all kinds 
whereby expense may be incurred, and as to the prohahle increase^ 
additional service^ or changes likely to he made prior to the ending 
of the contract term. Claims for additional pay, based on such 
grounds, or for alleged mistakes or misapprehensions as to the service 
required, or for bridges destroyed or ferries discontinued, can not be 
considered. 

15. Following the statement of service under each route in this 
advertisement is noted for the information of the public the rate paid 
for screen-wagon or mail-messenger service under existing contracts 
or designations, hut the existing contract or designation may not cover 
all of the service that is to he performed hy the contractor under this 
advertisement. 

IG. Bidders must use the blanks for proposals furnished by the De- 
partment, which maj^ be obtained at the post-office on each route 
herein advertised, or at the office of the Second Assistant Postmaster- 
General. 

17. Every proposal must be accompanied with a bond by two or 
more sureties approved by a postmaster, and in cases where the 
amount of the bond exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000) the ap- 
proval must be by a postmaster of the first, second, or third class ; or 
the proposal must be accompanied with a bond by an approved surety 
company. 

18. Postmasters are cautioned, under penalty of removal, not to 
sign the approval of the bond of any bidder before the proposal is 
completed, including the insertion of the rate at which the bidder 
proposes to carry the mail, the bond signed by the bidder and his 
sureties, and not until entirely satisfied of the sufficiency of his sure- 
ties; but where the bidder intends to give a surety company as sole 
surety on the bond, the postmaster may certify as to the bidder after 
the proposal and oath of bidder have been completed and the bond 
signed by the bidder, but before the bond has been signed bj^ the 
surety company. Postmasters are also cautioned not to divulge to 
anyone the amount of any proposal certified to hy them. Doing so 
will he sufficient cause for their remoiml. 

Postmasters are also liable to dismissal from office for acting as 
agents of contractors, subcontractors, or bidders, with or without 
compensation, in any matter, business, or thing relating to the mail 
service. They are trusted agents of the Department and can not 
consistently act in both capacities. 

19. Sureties on the bond of the bidder must take an oath before an 
officer qualified to administer oaths that they are the owners of real 
estate worth,' in the aggregate, a surni double the amount of said bond, 
over and above all debts due and owing by them, and all judgments, 
mortgages, and executions against them, after allowing all exemp- 
tions, of every character whatever. A married woman will not be 
accepted as a surety, either on the bond of a bidder or upon a con- 
tract. Accompanying the bond of a bidder, and as a part thereof, 
shall be a statement of the sureties under oath, showing the amount: 
of real estate owned by them, brief descriptions thereof, nnd its 
probable value, where it is situated, and in what county and State the 



90 

record evidence of their title exists. Any surety who swears falsely 
to this statement is deemed by the law guilty of perjury and is 
punishable as is prescribed by law for that crime. 

20. A surety company which has complied with the provisions of 
the act approved August 13, 1894, will be accepted as sole surety on 
the bond accompanying the proposal and as sole surety on a contract 
for mail service, but the Department reserves the right to reject any 
surety company which as surety on a contract has previously refused 
or failed to provide the service on a route after the failure of the 
contractor or which has otherwise violated its obligations to the 
Department. 

21. When the bond accompanying a proposal is executed by a 
surety company that has complied with the act approved August 13, 
1894, the oath relative to ownership of real estate and the certificate 
of a postmaster, which are required as to individual sureties (as per 
forms on third page and first half of fourth page of the proposal 
blank), are not required as to the surety company, but in such cases 
the certificate of a postmaster is required as to the bidder (see form 
on last half of fourth page of proposal blank). 

22. When a surety company that has complied with the provisions 
of the act approved August 13, 1894, executes a contract as sole surety 
the certificate of a postmaster, as per form on the contract blank, will 
not be required ; but see sections 21 and 23 of these instructions. 

23. When a surety company is tendered as surety, either on a bond 
accompanying a proposal or on a contract, there must be filed in the 
Post-Office Department a copy of the authority from the Attorney- 
General to such company to do business under said act and evidence 
that it has filed with the Attorney- General quarterly statements show- 
ing its assets and liabilities as required by said act ; and also evidence- 
that it has appointed, by a written power of attorney, some person as 
its agent residing within the jurisdiction of the court for the judicial 
district wherein such suretyship is to be undertaken, and that a copy 
of such power of attorney has been filed with the clerk of the district 
court of the United States for such district, in compliance with the 
provisions of the said act approved August 13, 1894. 

24. Bidders are cautioned to forward their proposals in time to 
reach the Department, or to file them, by the day and hour named in 
this advertisement, as proposals received after that time will not be 
considered. If sent by mail or express ample time should be allowed 
for their transit, as they can not be deemed to be received at the 
Department until actually delivered at the office of the Second Assist- 
ant Postmaster-General; neither can proposals be considered which 
are without the bond, oath, or certificate required by the act of June 
23, 1874, and the act of August 11, 1876. No withdrawal of a pro- 
posal will he allowed unless the notice of withdrawal is received 
twenty -four hours previous to Jt^.30 p. m., January ^, 1910. 

25. A proposal altered in any of its essential terms can not be con- 
sidered in competition with bids submitted in proper form. Nor can 
a bid, after having been submitted, be modified. A proposal may, 
however, be withdrawn within the time allowed for such action to be 
taken and a new proposal submitted in its stead. 

26. The Postmaster-General reserves the right to suspend the 
award of service on any route for a period not exceeding thirty days 
after the date set in this advertisement, with a corresponding allow- 
ance of time for the execution of the contract. 



91 

The Postmaster-General reserves the right to reject all bids on any 
route whenever in his judgment the interests of the service require it, 
and to disregard the bids of failing contractors and bidders, and bids 
accompanied with bonds on which there appears as siiret}^ the name 
of a person who is barred from bidding by reason of being a failing 
bidder qr contractor, or who is barred from bidding for any other 
reason; also to disregard the bids of those persons whose proposals 
have not been submitted in good faith and with the intention to prop- 
erly perform the services as contemplated by the terms of this adver- 
tisement. 

27. All accepted bidders under this advertisement w^ill be required 
to execute contracts with sureties to be approved by the Postmaster- 
General. 

28. The contracts are to be executed and filed in the Department 
within thirty days from the date of acceptance of the bid ; otherwise 
the accepted bidder will be considered as having failed, and the Post- 
master-General may proceed to contract for the service with other 
parties, according to law. 

29. In case of failure of the accepted bidder to execute a contract 
within the prescribed time, or of the abandonment of service during 
the contract term, the service will be relet at the expense of the failing 
bidder or contractor and his sureties, and any accepted bidder who 
shall wrongfully refuse or fail to enter into contract in due form, and 
to perform the service described in his proposal, may be deemed guilty 
of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof be fined and imprisoned 
therefor. 

30. No contract for carrying the mail shall be made with any per- 
son who has entered, or proposed to enter, into any combination to 
prevent the making of any bid for carrying the mail, or who has 
made any agreement, or given or performed, or promised to give or 
perform, any consideration whatever to induce any other person not 
to bid for any such contract. 

31. No postmaster, assistant postmaster, or clerk employed in any 
post-office shall be a contractor or concerned in a contract for carrying 
the mail. Neither are such persons eligible as bidders for mail service. 
Nor will the husband or wife of a postmaster, or assistant postmaster, 
or a member of the immediate family of either, be permitted to be- 
come a mail contractor or subcontractor or to receive compensation 
for carrying the mails. 

32. There will be no diminution of compensation for partial discon- 
tinuance of service or increase of compensation for increased service 
that may be ordered during the contract term as hereinbefore pro- 
vided ; but the Postmaster-General may discontinue the entire service 
under any contract on any route whenever the public interests, in his 
judgment, shall require such discontinuance, he allowing, as full in- 
demnity to the contractor, one month's extra pay. The Postmaster- 
General reserves the right to rescind any acceptance of a proposal at 
any time before the signing on behalf of the United States of the 
formal contract without the allowance of any indemnity to the ac- 
cepted bidder. 

33. The Postmaster-General may, in his discretion, continue in 
force, beyond its express terms, for a period not exceeding six months, 
any contract made under this advertisement until a new contract with 
the same or other contractors shall be made. 



92 

34. The Postmaster-General may annul the contract, in his discre- 
tion, for repeated failures or for failure to perform service according 
to contract; for violating the postal laws and regulations; for diso- 
beying the instructions of the Post-Office Department ; for refusing to 
discharge a driver or any other person handling mail under the con- 
tract when required by the Department ; for subletting service with- 
out the consent of the Postmaster-General, or assigning or transfer- 
ring the contract; for combining to prevent others from bidding for 
the performance of postal service; for transmitting out of the mail 
commercial intelligence or matter which should go by mail, or for 
transporting persons so engaged ; for the failure of the contractor to 
give his personal supervision to the performance of the service or to 
reside on or contiguous to the route; whenever the contractor shall 
become a postmaster, assistant postmaster, or Member of Congress, 
and whenever, in the opinion of the Postmaster-General, the service 
can not be safely continued or the laws maintained on the route. And 
such annulment shall not impair the right of the Department to claim 
damages from the contractor and his sureties. 

35. Fines will be imposed for neglect of duty. 

36. The service shall include the conveyance of all post-office 
blanks, mail locks and mail bags, and all other postal supplies. 

37. Foreign mails in transit across the territory of the United 
States shall, within the meaning of this advertisement, be deemed and 
taken to be mails of the United States. 

38. Contractors will be required to convey on the driver's seat of 
each wagon, whenever necessary, one railway post-office clerk, a sub- 
stitute, ur a messenger; and no person not having proper authority 
from the Department shall be permitted to ride on any of the con- 
tractor's wagons while the same is being used in the performance of 
service. 

39. All service must be performed in regulation screen wagons con- 
structed in accordance with plans and specifications issued by the De- 
partment September 15, 1904, with addenda of September 15, 1905. 
There are three sizes of regulation screen wagons, viz, No. 1 the large 
two-horse wagon, No. 2 the medium wagon for either one or tw^o 
horses, and No. 3 the one-horse wagon. In cases where, in the judg- 
ment of the Department, regulation screen wagons are not necessary, 
permission may be given to perform a limited portion of the service 
m regulation mail carts, built in accordance with the plans and speci- 
fications furnished by the Department; but these carts must not be 
used without specific authority from the Second Assistant Postmaster- 
General. 

40. Plans and specifications showing the style and construction of 
the wagons required may be seen at the office of the Second Assistant 
Postmaster-General and at the post-office in each city named in this 
advertisement, and will be furnished to contractors under this adver- 
tisement upon their application. 

41. Only iirst-class wagons of the prescribed pattern will be ac- 
cepted. The wagons (and carts, when used) must be kept clean, in 
good condition, painted and varnished in a thorough manner, and 
ornamented according to specifications. The contractor must have 
the wagons varnished at least once during the first year of the con- 
tract term, and thoroughly repainted and varnished with paints and 
varnishes of the best quality at least once each year thereafter during 



93 

the contract term. Xo lettering will be permitted on am^ part of the 
wagons other than such as is required by the specifications. The 

WAGONS AND CARTS MUST BE NEW, OR, IF NOT NEW, BE REBUILT, WHEN 
NECESSARY, AND REPAINTED, AND BE SUBSTANTIALLY AS GOOD AS NEW AT 
THE BEGINNING OF THE CONTRACT TERM. 

42. The horses used must be adapted to the work and must con- 
form to the following specifications: 

1. The horses shall be of good solid color — ba}', brown, black, roan,, 
chestnut, or gray preferred. 

2. They shall be not less than 5 nor more than 10 years old. 

3. Thev shall not stand less than 15 nor more than 16 hands high, 
and shall weigh not less than 1,100 nor more than 1,400 pounds. 

4. They shall be in proportion as to height and weight; of kind 
disposition and free from bad habits, sound, well broken to harness, 
and in perfect condition. 

All horses used in the performance of service will be subject to 
rigid monthly inspections during the contract term and the con- 
tractor will be required to take out of service any animal that does 
not meet these requirements. 

The horses must be kept in first-class condition at all times and the 
cruel treatment of any animal while in the performance of service 
will be sufficient cause for imposing a fine on the contractor or re- 
quiring the dismissal of the employee responsible for the act, or both. 

43. The harness used must be of good quality, suitable for the work,, 
and kept in first-class condition. 

44. The number of wagons and carts furnished must be sufficient 
for the prompt and proper performance of the service. The post- 
master must require the contractor on beginning service to furnish 
the number and kinds of wagons and carts specified under the 
schedule of service for each route. If additional equipment becomes 
necessary during the contract term, the postmaster must report the 
facts to the Second Assistant Postmaster-General. 

45. The contractor will be required to provide and keep on hand a 
sufficient number of extra wagons to take the place of those which 
may be temporarily disabled, delayed waiting for trains, withdrawn 
from service for repairs, required by the increase of service or for 
special or advance trips, so that the service shall always be promptly 
performed in wagons of the required kind. 

46. When mails are delayed in arrival, wagons must be at the 
depots or landings upon the arrival of such mails, and the same be 
conveyed to their proper destination without detention. Except in 
cases of accident, wagons containing mail must not be opened or the 
mails therein contained changed while in transit between the points 
named in this advertisement. The mails must be carried inside of the 
wagons, with doors securely locked, and not on the outside or on the 
seat with the driver, and in no case shall any person be allowed to 
ride inside of the wagon containing mail. 

47. Subject to the approval of the Second Assistant Postmaster- 
General, the wagons, horses, harness, drivers, and service are to be 
at all times under the control of the postmaster, and the mails are to 
be taken from and delivered into the post-offices, mail- stations, 
steamboats, railroad stations, and cars at such points and at such 
hours as will secure dispatches and connections, and at the con* 
tractor's expense for tolls and ferriage. 



94 

48. The equipment of the coPxtractor shall be subject to inspection 
before acceptance, at the commencement of the service, and to inspec- 
tion at least once each month by the postmaster and by an agent of 
the department when designated for that purpose. 

The wagons, when new ones are proposed to be built, shall be sub- 
ject to inspection: (1) In the shop when the running gear and bed 
have been put together; (2) when painted and completed and before 
going into service. 

The refusal or failure of the contractor to keep his wagons, horses, 
or harness in condition herein required to the satisfaction of the 
department, or to furnish proper drivers, so as to perform the service 
in a style satisfactory to the department, shall be sufficient cause for 
the imposing of suitable fines and penalties for each day that he fails 
in any particular to comply with such requirements, and for con- 
tinued failure to comply with the instructions and replace unsuitable 
horses, wagons, harness, or drivers, in accordance with instructions, 
he may, in addition, be declared a failing contractor, and the service 
be relet and he and his sureties be held liable for any damages that 
may be suffered thereby. 

49. The wagons for each city must be numbered consecutively 
from one up, and the number must not be changed on any wagon 
within the contract term without permission from the department. 

50. Drivers must be over 16 years of age, of good moral char- 
acter, able to read and write the English language, and be familiar 
with the streets, location of railroad stations, mail stations, etc., in 
the city in which they are employed. They must take the oath re- 
quired by law, and must wear the cap or hat, with badge, prescribed 
by the department. 

They will be required to pass such examination and furnish suet 
recommendations as will fairly demonstrate their qualifications and 
fitness, and must satisfy the postmaster, or his representative (sub- 
ject to the approval of the department), that they have the character 
and ability to properly perform the duties required of them. 

51. Should the contractor fail to. promptly provide efficient service 
after his attention has been called to delinquencies, the department 
may, in addition to imposing fines for past derelictions, order the 
removal of any of the contractor's employees and, if deemed advisa- 
ble, authorize the employment of temporary service over the entire 
route, at the expense of the contractor, until such time as he shall 
provide suitable employees to take the place of those at fault. 

52. Specifications for cap to be worn by driver : Cap — To be of all- 
wool blue flannel of good quality, three and one-fourth inches high, 
solid leather fronts one and three-fourths inches deep, with one small 
regulation P. O. D. button on each side, a silver wreath in front 
inclosing the words " U. S. Mail," and to have one oiled linen cover. 
During the summer season the drivers will be permitted to wear a 
straw hat or a straw cap of good quality and of uniform style, in lieu 
of the cloth cap. The regulation badge above described to be worn 
on the front of such hat or cap. In severe winter weather the drivers 
will be permitted to wear warm woolen caps of a uniform appearance, 
with regulation badge on front. 

53. Assignments of contracts or of interest in contracts are forbid- 
den by law, consequently can not be allowed. Neither can bids nor 
interest in bids be transferred or assigned to other parties. Bidders 



95 

will therefore take notice that they will be expected to perform the 
service awarded to them through the whole contract term. 

54. Special attention is invited to that part of the law prohibiting 
the subletting of mail contracts without the consent of the Post- 
master-General. 

As each contractor under this advertisement will be expected to 
reside on or contiguous to the route on which he contracts to carry the 
mail, and to give his personal supervision to the performance of the 
service, the department will not favor a proposition to delegate such 
duty to a subcontractor unless there shall be some special and sub- 
stantial reason therefor. The needs of the service justify the de- 
partment in expecting that, under competitive bidding, limited to 
persons residing on or contiguous to the routes, who will give their 
personal supervision to the performance of the service, the full 
amount named in the contract shall be paid to the person actually 
performing or supervising the service. Therefore applications for 
permission to sublet should state : 

(a) The special reason why the service should be sublet ; 

(h) The name and address of the proposed subcontractor; 

(c) The amount of compensation to be paid him. 

If permission to sublet a mail contract be granted, it will be subject 
to the conditions set forth in the following sections. 

By act of Congress of May 17, 1878, the following provisions are 
made relative to the subletting of mail contracts : 

Sec. 2. Hereafter no subletting or transfer of any mail contracts shall be per- 
mitted without the consent, in writing, of the Postmaster-General ; and when- 
ever it shall come to the knowledge of the Postmaster-General that any con- 
tractor has sublet or transferred his contract, except with the consent of the 
Postmaster-General as aforesaid, the same shall be considered as violated, and 
the service may be again advertised as herein provided for; and the contractor 
and his sureties shall be liable on their bond to the United States for any dam- 
age resulting to the United States in the premises. 

Sec. 3. Hereafter, when any person or persons being under contract with the 
Government of the United States for carrying the mails, shall lawfully sublet 
any such contract, or lawfully employ any other person or persons to perform 
the service by such contractor agreed to be performed, or any part thereof, he 
or they shall file in the office of the Second Assistant Postmaster-General a copy 
of his or their contract; and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Second 
Assistant Postmaster-General to notify the Auditor of the Treasury for the 
Post-Office Department of the fact of the filing in his office of such contract. 
Said notice shall embrace the name or names of the original contractor or con- 
tractors, the number of the route or routes, the name or names of the sub- 
contractor or subcontractors, and the amount agreed to be paid to the subcon- 
tractor or subcontractors. And upon the receipt of said notice by the Auditor 
of the Treasury for the Post-Office Department, it shall be his duty to retain 
out of the amount due the original contractor or contractors the amount stated 
in said notice as agreed to be paid to the subcontractor or subcontractors, and 
shall pay said amount upon the certificate of the Second Assistant Postmaster- 
General to the subcontractor or subcontractors, under the same rules and reg- 
ulations now governing the payments made to the original contractors : Pro- 
vided, That upon satisfactory evidence that the original contractor or con- 
tractors have paid off and discharged the amount due .under his or their 
contract to the subcontractor or subcontractors it shall be the duty of the 
Second Assistant Postmaster-General to certify such fact to the Auditor of the 
Treasury for the Post-Office Department ; and thereupon said Auditor shall 
settle with the original contractor or contractors under the same rules as are 
now provided by law for such settlements. 

55. Contractors must in all cases secure the permission of the Post- 
master-General before making a subcontract on any route. 



96 

56. Subcontracts executed and filed in accordance with the provi- 
sions of the act of May 17, 1878, will be subject also to the act of May 
4, 1882, which is as follows: 

Tbat whenever any contractor or subcontractor shall sublet his contract for 
the transportation of the mail on any route for a less sum than that for which 
he contracted to perform the service, the Postmaster-General may, whenever he 
shall deem it for the good of the service, declare the original contract at an end 
and enter into a contract with the last subcontractor, without advertising, to 
perform the service on the terms at which the last subcontractor agreed with 
the original contractor or former subcontractor to perform the same; Provided, 
That such last subcontractor shall enter into a good and sufficient bond, and 
that the original contractor, shall not be released from his contract until a good 
and sufficient bond has been made by such last subcontractor and accepted by 
the Post-Office Department : Provided further, That when a contract hereafter 
made is declared void on account of its having been sublet, the contractor shall 
not be entitled to one month's extra pay as provided for by law: And provided 
further, That if any person shall hereafter perform any service for any con- 
tractor or subcontractor in carrying the mail, he shall, upon filing in the Depart- 
ment his contract for such service and satisfactory evidence of its performance, 
thereafter have a lien on any money due such contractor or subcontractor for 
such service to the amount of the same ; and if such contractor or subcontractor 
shall fail to pay the party or parties who have performed services as aforesaid 
the amount due for such service within two months after the expiration of the 
quarter in which such service shall have been performed, the Postmaster- 
General may cause the amount due to be paid to said party or parties and 
charged to the contractor, provided that such payment shall not in any case 
exceed the rate of pay per annum of the contractor or subcontractor : And pro- 
vided further, That where any person, corporation, or partnership shall have 
contracts for the performance of mail service upon more than one route, and 
any failure to perform the service according to contract on any one or more of 
such routes shall occur, no payment shall be made for service on any of the 
routes under contract with such person, corporation, or partnership until such 
failure has been removed and all penalties therefor fully satisfied. 

CONDITIONS or PERMISSION TO SUBLET. 

57. The subcontract must be executed for service upon the whole 
route and for a period of not less than one year, or for the remainder 
of the contract term when less than one year, and it must be filed by 
the contractor in the office of the Second Assistant Postmaster- 
General within thirty days after the time when service is to begin 
under it. 

58. The subcontractor must be a resident of a locality upon or con- 
tiguous to the route; but no postmaster, assistant postmaster, clerk 
employed in a post-office, member of the immediate family of a post- 
master, or surety on the bond of a postmaster will be permitted to 
enter into a subcontract for mail service or to carry the mail as em- 
ployee of a contractor. 

59. The subcontract must be executed in the form prescribed by the 
Postmaster- General in Blank No. 2702, and must specify the rate to 
be paid per a'Mnum under it, in case the service shall be changed ; must 
stipulate that the subcontractor shall assume liability for fines and 
deductions and that he shall receive pro rata of the one monWs extra 
pay allowed contractor for curtailment, reduction, or discontinuance 
of service. 

60. None of the stipulations of the subcontract (Form No. 2702) 
are to be eliminated therefrom, and no collateral stipulations of any 
character whatever are to be added thereto. 

61. The execution of a subcontract on any route without permis- 
sion, or, if after permission, in violation of these instructions, renders 
the original contract liable to annulment. 



97 

62. The schedule on a route will not be changed to meet the con- 
venience of a contractor, subcontractor, or carrier unless an investi- 
gation shall show that such change will in no way be detrimental to 
the service. 

63. Neither the permission to sublet nor the recognition of the sub- 
contractor made in pursuance thereof shall be construed as releasing 
the contractor from any of the obligations of his contract with the 
United States. (See section 3963, Revised Statutes.) 

64. The word " transfer," as used in section 2 of the law above 
quoted, is declared to be synonymous with sublet, and does not per- 
mit in any case the absolute transfer of a mail contract. 

65. By a decision of the Attorney-General the provisions of this 
law are applicable to all mail contracts. 

66. The evidence of payment of a subcontractor by a contractor, 
provided for in section 3 of the act of May 17, 1878, must be the 
receipt of the subcontractor, attested by a postmaster at the post-office 
on the route sublet, on a form approved by the office of the Second 
Assistant Postmaster-General. 

67. A subcontractor may avail himself of the benefits of the laws 
and receive payment from the Post-Office Department direct by filing 
a copy of his subcontract in the office of the Second Assistant Post- 
master-General, furnishing therewith his post-office address. No 
subcontractor can be paid by the department for service at a greater 
rate than that named in the original contract. 

68. No subcontract can be recognized unless made with the original 
contractor. 

69. T\Tien a contractor executes a subcontract at a rate of pay 
higher than the contract rate, and such subcontract has been recog- 
nized and payments made by the department to the subcontractor 
at the contract rate of pay, it becomes an imperative duty of the 
contractor to simultaneously provide for paying to the subcontractor 
the sum due him in excess of the amount paid by the Department; 
and failure to make suitable provision and actual payment will be 
considered as sufficient ground to cause the name of the contractor to 
be entered upon the list of those who are barred from recognition by 
the department as bidders or as sureties for bidders for mail service. 

70. The following is a form of proposal properly filled in :

CERTIFICATE OF POSTMASTER AS TO BIDDERS AND SURETIES. 
(To be executed if the sureties on the bond are individuals.) 

I, the undersigned, postmaster at Albany, State of New York, after the exer- 
cise of due diligence to inform myself of the pecuniary ability and responsibility 
of the principal and his sureties in the foregoing bond, and of the real estate 
owned by them, respectively, do hereby approve said bond, and certify that, 
in my belief, the principal is a reliable and trustworthy person, of good moral 
character, and has the pecuniary ability to perform the service contemplated by 
his proposal, and that the said sureties are sufficient — sufficient to insure the 
payment of double the entire amount of the said bond; and I do further certify 
that the said bond was duly signed by Richard Roe, bidder, and J. D. Jones 
and E. M. Smith, his sureties, before signing this certificate, and I believe that 
said bidder and his sureties are, each and all of them, over twenty-one years 
of age, and that neither of them is a postmaster, assistant postmaster, clerk in 
a post-office, or a member of the immediate family of a postmaster or an assistant 
postmaster.

Postmasters will observe that the improper approval of the bond, or the 
certificate of the sufficiency of sureties therein, exposes them not only to dis- 
missal, but also to fine or imprisonment. Certificate must not be signed until

cate must have personal knowledge of the reliability and good character of the 
bidder, and must not divulge the amount of any proposal certified by them, 
under penalty of removal. The approval of the sureties must be by a post- 
master, and not by an assistant postmaster or other substitute, either in his 
own name or in the name of the postmaster ; and if the bond is in excess of 
five thousand dollars such approval must be by a postmaster of the first, second, 
or third class.

service as may be necessary to and from such railroad ; provided, that in the 
case of a mail station the increase in distance traveled by reason of such change

increased service caused by such change.

It is hereby stipulated and agreed by said contractor and his sureties that the 
Postmaster-General may change the schedule, vary, increase, or decrease the 
trips on this route, or extend the trips to any new location of the post-offices, 
railroad stations, steamboat landings, mfdl stations, or points of exchange with 
cable or electric cars named in the schedule of service for said route in said 
advertisement, without change of pay ; provided, that in case of a mail station 
the increase in distance traveled to and from such new location does not exceed 
one-quarter of a mile each way per trip; and that the Postmaster-General may 
discontinue the entire service under this contract whenever the public interest, 
in his judgment, shall require such discontinuance, but for a total discontinu- 
ance of service the contractor shall be allowed one month's extra pay as full 
indemnity. 

And it is further stipulated and agreed that for a failure to deliver the mail 
not beyond the control of the contractor, or for any delay or interference with 
the prompt delivery of the mail at the places required herein, or for carrying 
the mail in a manner different or inferior to that hereinbefore specified, for 
suffering the mail to be wet, injured, lost, or destroyed, or for any other delin- 
quency or omission of duty under this contract; for all or any of which the 
contractor shall forfeit, and there may be withheld from his pay, such sum as 
the Postmaster-General may impose as fines or deductions, according to the 
nature and frequency of the failure or delinquency. 

And it is further stipulated and agreed that the Postmaster-General may annul 
this contract for repeated failures or for failure to perform service according

General, or for assigning or transferring the contract ; for combining to prevent 
others from bidding for the performance of postal service ; for transmitting, out 
of the mail, commercial intelligence or matter which should go by mail, con- 
trary to the stipulations herein, or for transporting persons so engaged ; for the 
failure of the contractor to give his personal supervision to the performance of 
the service or to reside on or contiguous to the route ; whenever the contractor 
shall become a postmaster, assistant postmaster, or Member of Congress, and 
whenever, in the opinion of the Postmaster-General, the service can not be 
safely continued, the revenues collected, or the laws maintained. 

And it is further stipulated and agreed that such annulment shall not impair 
the right of the United States to claim damages from said contractor and his 
sureties under this contract ; but such damages may, for the purpose of set-off or 
counterclaim, in the settlement of any claim of said contractor or his sureties 
against the United States, whether arising under this contract or otherwise, be

And it is hereby further stipulated and agreed by the said contractor and his 
sureties that this contract may, in the discretion of the Postmaster-General, be 
continued in force beyond its express terms for a period not exceeding six
